Well, I'm on weekly Taxol and I seem to be doing fine. However, we know that all chemotherapy has to be processed by the liver and kidneys and so everything takes its toll on those two organs, no matter what kind of chemo you are on. I'm trying to do everything I can to protect my liver. Drinking lots of water is key.

I'm so sorry. I have done Taxol twice before, with Carboplatin. This is my first time on weekly Taxol. They are saying 12 weeks, but we'll see.
